A Syncro you probably never knew about.

[Simon Baxter]

As I know I didn't.
W12 engine, one of only 3 ever made and currently residing at the ZeitHaus at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg.



Not long been back from a few days in Wolfsburg, ace time and managed to indulge in some good old Volkswagen geekery.
Factory tour, automuseum, Autostadt, a tour of the Grundmanns private collection as well as seeing VW's first 4wd vehicle the schwimmwagen paddling in the Allersee at the 75 years of Wolfsburg celebrations.

Schwimmwagon, what I'd give for one, mmmm!

Presume you know there is a Syncro schwimmwagen in the UK... with an F1 carbon body.

Does it have a de-coupler and DRS ??

[xriss]

i heard it has blown exhaust difusser & power take off

Wasn't this W12 also known as the "AVUS" concept? I think one of the kids has a Hot Wheels toy of it, might even be the same colour.

[HarryMann]

PTO ~ YES

Blown exhaust diffuser. . What is that?

[Syncrobaz]

F1 device to increase rear downforce using exhaust outlet !! (now banned)

[silverbullet]

My mistake. The Audi Avus was much earlier - 1991 - but more of a styling exercise with a wooden fake engine

According to Wiki-lies, so it could all be wrong.

[HarryMann]

No blown exhaust diffuser then on the schwimmwagen I'm thinking about. .

And the Pirellis are shod!
